I have a busy next couple of months, with Equinox in Auckland in two weeks, then Natcon a month later.

I was very fortunate to get some nice flights from Mr Dunn, so was able to make the journey north. I missed Equinox last year so am looking forward to it. The field looks strong so should be a great hard fought event.

Natcon is looking like a filth fest. 2500pts and very minimal comp ( pretty much none) will bring out some horrid lists. Should be fun! I wonder how many people will be taking advantage of the ability to take some of the monsters from monstrous arcanum. Simon will be there people, so be sure to bring a pillow so you can have a sleep when you play his dwarfs. :)

As for lists, I can see a lot of WOC being brought out of the closet for their first tournament run in NZ at Equinox. I think everyone will need to take this into consideration when designing their lists, I know I am.

I am going to have some fun at Natcon. I have a couple of lists in mind. One of them involves orcs with a massive rock, the other is a version of my DE knight bus, but with two hydras. Will have to decide shortly though.

So the first ever Nztc was this weekend, and it was the most fun I have ever had at an Warhammer Tournament.

6 great games against 6 great opponents. The team event was freekin awesome. I can see why the ETC is so popular.

Well done to the Vonn Trapp family, Nerdymen and NZHammered for taking out the trophys. You guys all played really well.

I was too busy playing and taking videos to actually photograph my games, but will do a quick over view in the next few days.

Thanks heaps to Pete for organising and running the event. Thanks to Ryan and Locky for doing a great job umpiring, the event. Locky also helped me out alot with the filming, doing all the walk arounds during the rounds as I was too busy playing. Thanks heaps mate, really appreciated it.

And to team O.M.E.N...it was a pleasure doing battle with you, you all did the team proud. At least we have the experience for next year, and can only improve on what we started. Thanks guys.

So the new WOC book has dropped, and I for one really like it. The variety is huge, and the scope for creating individualized armies has grown from the last book.

I miss you.

I used to own a fully converted Slaaneshi WOC army at the end of 7th and start of 8th. I had put a lot of time and effort into the army, and it had won a couple of best army's at local events. That flying pink dragon thing was my disc rider. Even though it was all Slaanesh themed, I did use other marks in the army and just modelled them Slaaneshi, which I will be doing this time around also.

So why don't I have them I hear you ask well, they got STOLEN. Some cock juggling thundercunt broke into my house and nicked off with half my army, and all my other large models, Giant, Steg, Aroc ect. So yeah, slightly bitter about it. I couldn't bring myself to add in more models, so I sold what I had left.

This brings me to my new army. This is my first draft of a list. It needs tweeks, but quite like the base of the list,

This guy is the general and rides with the PleasureBringers (skullcrushers) The daemonic mount gives him 3 wounds and gives the unit type MC. 1+ rerollable armour save. Also no mark so he can ride with PleasureBringers (Khorne)

Exalted Hero BSB
MOS
Shield
Scaled Skin
Opal Amulet

Pretty simple BSB. 1+ Armour save. I am not 100% sold on this build yet.

19 Slaaneshii Warriors
Halberds
Shields
FC
Discipline

Lvl4 and BSB here

Chariot of Slaanesh

Chariot of Slaanesh

Why not???

5 Vanguarding warhounds

5 Vanguarding warhounds

4 Dragon Ogres
Halberds

These guys are boss with lore of Slaanesh. Not using new models either.

7 Chaos Knights of Slaanesh
Std, Mus
Ensorcelled weapons
Swiftness

4 PleasureBringers
Std, muso
Lances
Gleaming/Flame

So what is your guys opinion?

I also have a couple of requests. If anybody has any of the new Hellstrider bits spare and you want rid of them, let me know.
The only models I don't have an idea of how I am going to model are the Skullcrushers/PleasureBringers. If any one has any ideas of a mount that would suit, and also look Slaaneshii enough and fill a 50x70mm base, please suggest below.
